Thought for the Day by Ben Martin (Curate)

​


See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so                                                                  we are.1 John 3:1a

On Sunday our theme for the morning was church as family. But we started by asking ourselves ‘How are we family’. And the answer was that we are now all children of God because God lavished love upon us by sending his child to seek and save us and bring us home. So today, if you love and trust Jesus, you are a child of God.
Just let that sink in for a moment.
The one who fashioned the stars, the one who holds the oceans in the palm of his hand, the one who knows the beginning from the end, the one who is robed in perfect light, the one who is perfect wisdom and perfect love.
If you are a Christian you are his child. You are his beloved. Your picture is on his mantlepiece.
Whatever today has in store, rest and remember that.
And in the mean time read over this quote from the Theologian J I Packer, and ponder it today and ask yourself how much do I make about being a child of God?​
